Haven't been all that active on the boards the past month or so, but this caught my eye. Seems like a potentially cool idea. Definitely keep with it guys. Would be happy to help support the cause if it meant bringing an undervalued name to NYC. John '00' Fleming certainly fits the bill. He is way overdue to get his ass back here.

Make it happen!

+1 support here. As much as people are tossing out discussions left & right these days about changing sounds in music, waning music scenes, flaky partygoers, reductions in party quality from the blurring of fanbases from various genres, and accusations on both sides of the "get on the trouse-wagon" debate...if you know what you like to hear, may as well stick to your guns.

I'd love to hear the likes of JOOF & CL in NYC again. I'm pretty sure the *last* time I had a really enjoyable night in Pacha was when CL closed out for Ronski Speed in Nov. '09. ...Damn. If even I can start reminiscing about parties that were over 2 years ago, you know there's something strange. :P

Glad to see such a good response from so many people. I hope we can have your full support when things come together; we're really gonna need a solid amount of pre-sales to make this happen, but I think it's possible.

Bear with me a little while longer and I will hopefully have some news for you on the ideas we're throwing around.

16 Bit Lolitas in particlar would be awesome.

I will offer free supply of xanax for Prydz if he decides to come here..

Just found this thread, and I'd love to help. I'm a brand/digital strategist and used to work at an advertising agency, so anything relating to digital strategy is up my alley.

Just a few thoughts after reading...

1. Any consideration to Brooklyn venues? Or what about Shelter?

2. Why not make the parties earlier on a week night? I never quite understand why a headlining DJ will play 1-4a on a Wednesday or Thursday, when the turnout would be much greater if they played from 11-2 instead. Whats the point of going so late when people have to work who would otherwise show up and spend their money?

3. Why not use a Groupon model for ticket purchases? May/may not work, but its definitely worth considering.

Groupon would be an awesome idea. I'm surprised nightlife hasn't really caught on yet.

Don't kill me but what's the Groupon model?

Nightlife would make groupon charge an additional processing fee to purchase the groupon and then another fee when you redeem it to buy your ticket

Brooklyn is tough, people don't wanna trek it out there especially if it's not in a prime location with an abundance of mass transit. Brooklyn only works for certain types of parties, and certain promoters. Just my own personal observation.

Shelter has been closed for the longest, its a vip models and bottles spot now = not happening lol

Opening early doesn't work on a weekday unless it's happy hour.

Blackfeel Wite has some amazing productions

love this track

It's when everyone commits to paying for something at a certain price, and when the amount of commitments hits a certain level, the purchase is automatically made. It's essentially group buying. For example, Groupon would offer $40 at a restaurant for $20. If 30 people commit, then the offer becomes valid and your credit card is charged $20... you commit to pay but don't actually pay until the amount of people needed for the deal is reached.

I wouldn't use Groupon for this, just the essential model of it. Something like this: Create a list of DJ/acts that would be feasible and let the community vote on who they'd want to see the most. Then, using your own payment processor, select a venue + date, and allow attendees to commit to paying $20 on a certain date. They may not know who's going to show up yet, but they know the list, and are able to vote on it. Once a threshhold is passed (say, 100 people) - everyone's CC are charged, and a DJ is selected. If the minimum threshold isn't met, no one gets charged. Done well and the talent selected is a success, it could work. If the talent selected isn't a success, then it would be harder for me to pay $20 blindly. It's a simple system, but obviously would take some work to successfully work in this situation, but I think it could.

For example, if BLK market or Verboten pulled something like this, I would definitely go because their lineups are always quality (imho), even if I don't know the talent. I at least know Im guarenteed a decent venue, and a good crowd, which does have influence.

So, example: TA party, $20, decent location, headlining artist TBA, with local artists confirmed. If I knew a list of potential acts that were possible, but knew I had to commit to make them happen, yeah I'd do it.
